‘A VISIT T0 THE MAGDALENS,

‘Their Population, Indus-

fries and Requirements,

A LAND OF CLEAR SKIES AND BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURE.

A Primitive Yet Noble-Souled Peo- ple--Description of the Isles.

To goto the Grand Entry, 20 miles north by iand, a fishing centre of consider- able importance and of laie years being pretty extensively colonized, it is necessary to drive the greater part of the distance on whatis called South Beach. Thisiss narrow lineof grey sand, which, butfora channel near this island, connects it with All Right. Wedrove through the ples- sant country between House Harbor and

South Beach, after visiting the hills at Low Point and being skovn ovr Mr. Alex. C. Arsenault’s factories aod stores there, and found it a

lovely spot indeed,with its clean hard floor of grey saud upon which horses trot cif ae ina park, regardless of Lhe Gvean Ou Oe side dashing up white crested b.llows end the stiller waters of the Great Lagoon on theother. There is a fishing village «f some size at South Beach and as we pass- ed through ita number of men were cn~ gaged in hauling up their boats above high water mark. They bad jast returned from their traps aud the hand barrows were already well filled with lobsters, somewhat larger in size than those takin on cur coast, and an odd codfish caught while overhauling. This is a superb bathing place; the shore is so clean,smooth and firm, the water so clear, lively and invigorating and sufficiently deep to please all classes of bathers. The red cliffs «f the cape tothe right are rapidly falling away and the bold swimmer loves to strike out to a detached piece of the rocky head- land, which, barder than the rest, still defies the anger of the waves.

Looking through the lobster establisb-

ments we were informed that they were |

largely operated by the Portland Packing Co., which appeurs to have stations wher- ever this precious crustacean is to be taken. A Mr. Tidmarsh, brother of our friend of that name, is their general manager. end he must be a pretty decent fellow indeed as he appeared to be in high favor with everybody. The centre of operation of this company in the islands is Grand Entry where the manager resides and where the canning factories are more perfectly equipped than we have seen any~ where else. At Grand Entry. Father Blacquiere has the erection of a handsome little mission church in contemplation, and it is not at all improbable that, with the flight of years, the popnia'ion wil be sufficiently increased to support a resideut pasior. Then, or probably before, the ecclesiastical authorities may put into execution a proposal long before them of erecting those islands into an Apostolic Prefecture.

Off in the distance from Grand Entry is Byron Island, the location of more fisling industries; and north of itthe Bird Rock, where millions of great sea fowl congre+ gate to hatch out their young in the sum mer months. Here the Marine Department has a lighthouse, signal station and telegraph; butonly those tied down by some regulation of the public service re- main over winter. All willrecall with a thrill of horror, the ead case of the three yourg men who, stationed here, losi their live~ last winter in the pursuit of seals, after days ofthe most terrible suffering from exposure on the _ treacherous ice~floes of the Gulf. This is historic ground too. Those rocks were discovered by no less a personage than Jacques Cartier during his first voyage in the summer of 1534 and the iotrep:d navigator takes care to make special mention of them in hie precious chronic’e of that famou- craise. His journal declares them to be “as steep and upright as any wall,” a des~ cription as true today as it was three cen- turies ago. Cartier named the Bird Rocks **Isles des Margaulx,” Ganet Islands from the myriads of those birds found there. A great variety of other sea birds frequent them also. The almost infinite variety of guils, beeides loons, pelicans, sea parrots, etc. are well reyre ented. Sone of the eggs ot these birds are very large—larger than those even of our domestic goose—

and they are often of the most delicately beautitul coloring. In the past, many vessels have taken away loads of them which their owners peddied along the niaritime towos, but this traffic has been entirely prohibited by the Government in order that the birds whose presence served more effectually as a signal to mariners thao all the lights and fog horns poszible, would not thus be exterminated. A sail around the Bird Rocks is then one of the features cf a Magdalen trip.

Bryon is a lovely island which, as well as beirg a valuable fishing station, boasts an extraordinary rich soil. Cartier was its discoverer also, and he appreciated it +o highly as to call it Bryon, afer his friend and patron, Admiral Philippe Chabot, Sieur de Brion. On all the maps we have | at hand this name is erroneously epelled “Byron” or “Biron” as if it were named | from the great poet of that name, who was

de Brion ase'sted Cartier in making his

first great voyage from the port of Bt. Malo.

As might be expected, too, Cartier was | preparations.

delighted with the Magdalens, throug |

which he sailed, after alengthy explora-

'tionofthe bleak and uninviting coast of

Newfoundland. “One of their fi-lds” he says, “is worth more than all the Newland” although hehas left us a favorable im-

pression of “Ye ancient colony’s” splendid bays and harbors.

Grindstone Island, the centre of the Magdalen group is perbaps the largest and most extensively farmed of the other ands. It is completely berringboned by ardge of grissy hills, the eurface about the high parts of the coast being sharply undulating while where it runs to meet ithe sand bare or barachois, it is flat and often wetand swampy. In those low por- Lions a vigorous seco.d growth of spruce

On the west side of thisisland is Etang du Nord where the steamer calls at a govern- ment breakwater aud where the shore is lined with fishing estab] ch- ments and the sea alive with the manceuvring craft of fishermen, The parish church, a stately edifise just com- pletely remodelled exteriorally, stands on a

high prominence overlooking Pleasant Bay. Vicar General De Finance serves it most efficiert!ty and is per- hapse better appreciated i ban most of us, if appreciation can be calculated by dellars and centr; for we

were assured that of bis 300 fawities not a single one failed in any year ‘o contribute cheerfully and handsomely to bissvpport. Had the priests of this province sucha ialeto tell there would certainly be much less heard of expensive religion aud priestly exactions, since it is never he who paya that brays. As in the p'ovince of Quebec there is a resource to law for the collection of Church taxes in the Magdalenes, but in reality the civil power is never invoked, the more accept- able voluntary system, as with us, obtain~ ing uaiversally.

Water is not always easy to be had on the Grindstone, and as with the other islands anything more exhilirating is out of the question altogether. Indeed, thie is the only quarter of the globe where prohi- bilion seems to probibit completely, and the credit of bringing it about belongs en- tirely tothe clergy. It is not wonderful, then, that on this Island, which, unlike the others, does not abound in springs, water is bored for at great distances and dug for with wonderful persisteacy. We saw &@ number of those ungrateful wells,— One amonumentio Rev. Dr. Chaisson’s unsuccessful enterprise, — through the settlement. They are now tenced areund, as are many utber great holes in the sur- face of the island, caused by the decom- position of the soft gypsum rock which abounds Lere. We were pleased to meet Dr. Sclomor, an old Island student and frien, at this plac, and to know that he is auccesefully wrestling with all the ills to which humanity is heir io the islands.

Diamond Dves, as far as general useful pess ig concerned, are far ahead of a!! the adulters'ed package and soap grease dyes now before the public. These crude pack~ age dyes and soap grease mixtures are very limited in their powers. “Tis true, they give a semblance of color to thin and flimsy fabrics, but when tried on guod dress materials and heavier guods such as flannels, worsteds, tweeds and cloths, they are simply worthless.

The Bones Dves, owing to their great powers of penetration, their perfect solidity and depth of shade, their purity and bril. liancy, are adapted for all classes of goods the thinnest gauzeto the heaviest
